It is the alcohol cartel that has funded and aided the spread of disinformation and lies regarding cannibis. The alcohol lobby in washington is large and well funded and very sly. Cannibis is safer and will not kill our children as alcohol does. It is time to give new meaning to the phrase “This bud’s for you”!!!

The Federal government is a very dangerous, out of control monstrosity that feeds on the very people it is suppose to protect. The laws that it enforces are laws that were bought and paid for by the drug companies, insurance companies, private prisons, ect… Law enforcement are corporate storm troopers.

It’s a shame that our ellected representives can’t see past their inflated egoes. How can they believe that they repersent us when the american people spoke for reform of marijuana laws when asked, by Mr. Obama, what is the most important issue to adress durrihg his administration? that anser was, by more than 80%, legalize marijuana!!! I thought we ellect them to represent our views.

THIS COUNTRY HAS HAD IT, NO LEADERSHIP, GREED, IGNORANCE, NO REGARD FOR THE PEOPLE AND THEIR RIGHTS, NO EMPATHY FOR THE SICK AND SUFFERING. IMMAGRANTS CAME HERE FROM ALL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES TO START A NEW LIFE. WELL THAT NEW LIFE HAS DIED AND ITS TIME TOME SET SALI BACK TO EUROPE WHERE COUNTRIES RULE WITH INTELLEGENCE AND COMMON SENCE.

I feel? Charles Lynch, just yesterday i was literally stepped on and severely discriminated for only have one blunt of .8 grams, now i am facing tickets i have to pay and was almost sent to jail. I’ve been smoking illegally for past 3 years none stop everyday and nothing has ever happened to me. I don’t think any other form of medical THC will ever stop the demand for legalization, which in my eyes should be the main issue we need to deal with.If we don’t legalize, your only making it more difficult for? yourselves (government) to deal with marijuana issues. Suit yourselves spending more money and time on things people know aren’t harmful. and at the end of it all this country is becoming more and more liberal as time goes by. This plant will one day be regulated and taxed. The thing is why wait.. people like myself are not going to stop smoking it. Waiting is only building more “SO CALLED problems” for the government to deal with.

The saddest part about this whole thing is that the Federal Gov. Was taking Federal taxes from this man.. So in a way he paid the salary of the judge that put him in jail…It is my understanding that a judge can and will do whatever he decides is best…So why he could not have done something differant than 366 days in jail is just a show of power in my mind…Mr.Lynch our day is comming and my thoughts are with you.. I hope that you are released long before your time is served!!!!

Question:
Was U.S. District Court Judge George H. Wu required by law to issue a sentence? Could he had reduced the sentence, or given Charles Lynch probation?

I hope Mr. Lynch is pardoned, or somehow not required to go to jail. What a waste!

This really highlights the need to reinstate and support the 10th amendment as a WORKING right. The rights of the states to pass their own laws regarding drugs and other matters really needs to be revisited.

The interstate commerce clause has decimated this amendment and, hopefully, talk of states succeeding in order to protect it will gain some steam.

I have a medical condition that causes pain, swelling and limited mobility in both of my legs. Cannabis is the only treatment that eliminates the pain I feel and allows me to live as normal as a life as possible. I currently live in Illinois where no medical cannabis law is in effect. Until then me and thousands of people must choose to either live in pain or risk arrest and prison in order to provide ourselves and others with safe and quality medicine. Everyone who reads this please do whatever you can to contact local, state, and federal officials. Each voice helps.
Peace, love, and safe journies to all
